Gala Water Show Coming
A gala water show extravaganza lias been planned for 7
p. m. Saturday evening at the Community pool when Betty
Jackman, who appeared in Billy Rose's aquacade at the Cleveland exposition, and her troupe of swimmers put on an exhibition.
Miss Jackman does fancy diving along with the members
of her party but their main forte is figure and formation
swimming. Especially has their waterwheel attracted much
. attention wherever they liave appeared. This is accomplished
by each girl locking legs and then beginning to turn somersaults under water. It is just a steady procession of white
caps breaking the water at intervals.
Other acts include a breathtaking spectacle using sparklers. In this tlie girls go through intricate formations without the aid of the pool lights.
Also on the program will be members of tlie North Canton girl's swimming team who will display their talents in
a similar act. The girls have been giving exhibitions not
only here but at other pools where the teami has appeared
and do their acts surprisingly well.
Since no water carnival would be complete without
clowns, the swimming instructor of the Columbiana team,
which will also be here, has arranged to bring several comedy divers with them. North Canton's group of funnymen
will also aid in dispensing.laughs.
The first part of the evening's program will be devoted to
a swimming meet with Columbiana furnishing the competition. The local group boasts one victory over them thus far
and the visitors will be out to avenge that loss. So far this
season the local swimmers are undefeated even though they
have competed against teams having mucli older swimmers
on their teams.
As a sort of wiarmup for the festivities on Saturday,
members of the swimming team will divide up into teams
and play waterpolo Thursday evening. This is one sport
where anything goes as long as someone has the ball in his
possession. It's rough and fast and takes plenty of stamina
for the swimmers are moving all the time either trying to
score or break up scoring plays.
Theater Work Well Advanced
With construction starting on July 6 on the new theater
for North Canton, work has progressed with almost incredible swiftness during the past month.
Preliminary excavation work took slightly more than a
week before concrete bases were laid prior to the erection of
the brick and concrete block foundations which were under
construction on July 17. In a very short time, it seemed almost overnight, the basement walls were erected and plumbers were busy laying pipe.
With the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, the contractors have been blessed with favorable
weather, one of the reasons for the remarkable progress. On
both these days, rain, early in the morning, threatened to
halt work for the day but the sun broke through and everything continued at a steady pace.
Persons unfamiliar with a drilling rig were given an opportunity to watch one in action during the, past few days
as a well was dug in the alley way to provide water for the
cooling system which will be used in the theater. Drilling
started on Thursday and by Tuesday evening the well had
been completed with the exception of installing the turbine
pump. In order to adequately serve the cooling system the
well must deliver 100 gallons of water per minute.
Intakes for the warm air are even now being constructed.
The air will be conducted into a fan room, there nooled by the
water, and then returned through the theater.
While carpenters are busy covering the basement and laying steel reinforcement rods for the concrete floor, masons
are busy on the sidewalls which now stretch the entire length
of the building-to-be. Steel work will not be started for about
a month stated one of the supervisors.
Upon its completion the building will house two first floor
store rooms, one on either side of tlie theater entrance and
five second floor apartments.
Heavy Vote
Cast in
Primaries
Over Fifty Per Cent Name
Candidates in Canton; Returns Low in North Canton and Township
In an unusually heavy primary
vote that found beter than fifty
per cent of the voters turning out,
unofficial returns in the city of
Canton gave present Mayor Edward Folk a wide majority over his
two opponents on the Republican
ticket.
At the time the polls opened tho
voting moved along rather slowly
but late in the morning and
through the remainder of the day a
heavy turnout gave promise of the
large vote. Total number of Republicans voting were 15,081 while the
democrats tallied 11,693.
In North Canton the only issue
was the candidates for municipal
judge. As a result, voting was very
light with only a total of 153 visiting the polls during the day, 104
being Republican votes.
James A. Bowman led his Republican rivals in this community
having 49 votes against 35 for
Karl A. Feist and 20 for James
H. Emsley. On the Democratic
ticket, Everett Miller polled 36
votes while Leroy Contie had 10,
William Georges 2 and Arthur
Nebel 1. New Berlin township gave
Bowman 10, Emsley 6 and Feist
none while Miller had 10, and the
other candidates one each.
Folk Wins Easily
Mayor Edward Folk recieved
8,993 to completely dominate the
Republican picture as his rivals,
Earl Hafer and Joseph Agler had
but 3,654 and 2,328 respectively.
With eight candidates on the Democratic slate, voting was widely
split with Charles Weeks emerging
as high man with 2,675 and Michael Ross trailing with a total of
2,173.
In the nominations for city auditor, Joseph Bickhart, running un-
apposed on the Democratic ticket,
compiled S,485 while Robert Beck
led the Republican chase with
9,lil4. Joseph Mariol and Albert
Fromm received the Democratic
and Republican nominations for
president of council while the treasurers nominations were won by J.
J. Newcomer, Democrat and Walter Baum, Republican.
Paul Weber received 10,689 votes
to get the Democratic nod for city
solicitor while Robert Wilson had
5,961 for the same job on the GOP
slate.
The Municipal judge race wound
up with Leroy Contie piling up a
519 lead over Everett Miller, both
Democrats as James Bowman had a
runaway with the. Republican nomination.
The councilman-at-large nominations were taken by John Swartz,
F. C. Haffner and Benjamin Marconi on the Democratic side while
Ned Perkins, Ross Hurford, and
Charles Tressel took tlie opposite
party's nomination.
The proposed poor relief levy
went down to an overwhelming defeat when 15,476 persons voted
against it while only 8,731 were in
favor. The defeat of this measure
was apparent early in the morning
and as precinct after precinct reported in it was a foregone conclusion.

Struck Down,
Robbed of $31
Two Men Involved in Filling
Station Burglary
Two men robbed the Mead Ser
ice station in Massillon of $31.50
early Wednesday morning and
knocked tlie attendant, Earl Mead
Jr., unconscious with a blow on the
head. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Mead of Stuart boulevard in Jackson township.
Young Mead was unconscious for
approximately 20 minutes before
he recovered sufficiently to notify police. He revealed to authorities the men drove into the station in a 1936 black tudor sedan
and told him to fill it up. He put
11 gallons of gas into the car and
was tendered a $5 bill by the
driver.
As he entered the station the
other man followed him in and as
he opened the cash register he was
struck down. Clyde Fidler, who
operates a repair shop in tho rear
of the same building, was in a rear
room at the time but heard nothing
to arouse his suspicions.
Police were informed that the
same men had stopped at the station the night before, at which
time they went through the same
procedure that preceded the attack
upon Mead but at that time made
no attempt at robbery. The license
number of the car was not obtained but a good description .of lhe
pair was furnished authorities.
Mead is recovering at his home
in Jackson township from bruises
and shock.

Too Often in the Way!
John Publique is a nice fellow. He is always willing bo
offer his aid but because he is not experienced he often
causes more trouble than help.
This fact is brought vividly home in a town the size of
North Canton when one hears the fire siren blow and sees
the fire engine race out of the garage and down the street.
Immediately from, every corner and building where people
are not too busy to get away emerges men and automobiles.
Out after the fire engine they go, hands on horns and coat
tails flying in the wind. John Publique is on his way to offer
his aid.
It may sound funny, it may look funny, but it is not at
all funny when one remembers this. Somewhere in that
hurrying crowd of hurrying men and automobiles are volunteer firemen who were not on the truck but were following
in private cars. Held up by traffic and sightseers the men
cannot reach tiieir post of duty. Before they can get there
the damage may be done, a life may be lost or thousands
of dollars worth of property m|ay be gone.
This is not a far fetched issue. It happens in nearly every
small town when ever there is a fire. Fire chiefs beg and
firemen shout at the crowds to stay back. But John Publique
in all his curiosity and thoughtlessness still has the idea that
he is being helpful.
Next week or the week after when the fire siren blows
look out the window and watcli neighbors and friends start
out after the fire truck. But before each person climbs into
his automobile let him remember, "John Publique is a nice
fellow but he is too often a great nuisance and a mtenace to
life."

a group from Greentown went up
to the Lake of the Woods, Burd

to give an account of the entire
trip.
With Boston were Eddie Bichel,

years. Anyhow here is the account
of the trip and apparently they hail
some real fishing.
July 2-Left Greentown Sunday
a. m. Spent first night at Madison,
Wis. Stayed at Virginia, Minn., the
second night. The guides were at
Big Grassy river with a 30 ft. boat
to meet us. Didn't, wait very long
they said. We were there a little
after noon on the -Ith. Left the car
at the Indian reservation. Harvey.,
our guide, said the car would lie
safe. One of the Indians will watch
the ear. Nearly 15 miles to the
camp. We soon had our first look
at the Lake of the Woods. We sailed out into the lake on into Sabas-
konur bay. Doc soon had hi.s camera
working.
The camp is on an island in the
bay. The bay is full of islands,
some large, some small. The shores
are solid rock, with here and there
a weed bed. A caster's paradise!
Harvey told us the fishing from
this camp is all casting from a
boat, two casters and one guide.
Each boat has an outboard motor
which they use to go from one fishing spot to another. The guides
handle these boats like canoes
while you are fishing. It all sounded good to us. We finally reached
the camp. Beautiful spot. Got
something to eat. Changed clothes
and Harvey asked us if we wanted
to go out a couple of hours before
supper. We were soon to get our
first casting in the Lake of the
Woods. In two hours we hooked
over thirty Great Northern pike,
"called jacks up here." We caught
one small-mouth bass and one walleyed pike. There are no large-
mouth bass in the lake. Went back
to camp and met the rest of the
gang. Six people from New Philadelphia, Ohio, and man and wife
[Continued on back page]
Sixteen youngsters in company
with Jack Coughlin, Dick Evans
and Tom Slusser returned Friday
afternoon after a week's stay at
Cock's forest in Pennsylvania their
trip marred by one unfortunate incident.
On Tuesday Tom Slusser took
a group on a hike and while walk-
in- sustained a fall that rendered
him unconcious. One of the boys
ran back to camp for help and
Coughlin and Evans returned. After working for some time Slusser
was brought back to consciousness
and then removed to Brookvale
hospital where he remained until
the group returned on Friday.
The boys left here Monday morning and arrived at the forest a-
round three in the afternoon, secured their permit and set up their
canin.
Head Ranger G. W. Alexander
gave the group his personal supervision and sent his two sons, Chuck
and Heap, up to the camp to join
in with the boys.
Go Deer Hunting
On Wednesday they went over
to Brookvale to visit Slusser and
in the evening Mr. Alexander pro
vided them with a real treat; deer
hunting by spotlight. A large truck
was fixed up with seats and they
drove through the forest. The Ranger revealed that on a dark night
it was not uncommon to see anywhere from 100 or more deer but
since this particular night was
very light wouldn't promise too
much. However, before the ride was
over thc boys spotted 12 deer and
one buck.
Learning that a big parade was
to be held in Clarion the next day,
Mr. Alexander made arrangements
to take the boys over and they witnessed the entire proceedings from
a special site.
A weiner roast was planned for
the evening but when a heavy rain
set in it seemed that the boys were
doomed to be disappointed. However, Mr. Alexander again stepped
into the breach and invited them
all up to his home where they spent
the evening playing games and
telling stories.
It continued to rain throughout
the night but only one tent collected enough water to collapse but
the occupants moved in with some
other boys so that none were any
the worse off for the experience.

What's Your
Opinion?
>?
Louis Olden, 63, 547 Douglas
street, Akron, was struck and fatally injured shortly after 4:30
Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of route 8 and 35th street
NW.
According to witnesses Olden
.started lo cross the .street from the
Holguerii Dairy store to go over
to the vegetable market stepping
out from behind a passing truck,
when a car driven by Brooks Willaman of 51(5 McKinley street,
North Canton, and traveling south,
struck him.
His view obscured by the truck,
Willaman had no chance to bring
hi.s car to a stop, when the man
suddenly appeared before him.
Wackcrly's ambulance was summoned to tlie scene and Olden taken to Mercy hospital where he was
to Mercy hospital where he was
pronounced dead. The body was
then removed to the funeral home.
Deputies Lower and Aston, who
investigated, stated there was little
likelihood that Willaman would be
held to any charge, terming it entirely accidental.
Skid marks on the pavement indicated that Willaman immediately
applied his brakes when he saw
Olden but was too close to bring
hi.s car lo a stop before striking
him.
Q _
Question: Are you for or
against a third term for tlie
president of the United
States?
R. W. "Dick"
■ A3 Ramsey: — I'm
against it. I
feel that after
a man has given eight years
to such an important position he has
made a grout
sacrifice a n d
should not be
asked by the people for any further sacrifice.
Carl Sumser: — I'm not
for a third
term. No pres-
i d e n t before
ever had a
third term so
why should a

broken now.
We've gotten ! .''
along so f a r ' - - •'
without anyone having three terms
so I don't see why we can't continue to do so.
N. G. Dickerson:—I'm a-
gainst it. I
don't believe
that any man
who has given
eight y ears
should be asked to give
in o r c. We've
n e v e r had a
president who

under the fifth grade who participated in the reading project during
the .summer which closed last week.
The children were entertained with
story telling and games held in the
back yard.
This project for younger children

The contest for older boys and
girls has been closed but not judged yet, due to the fact than many

Gala Water Show Coming
A gala water show extravaganza lias been planned for 7
p. m. Saturday evening at the Community pool when Betty
Jackman, who appeared in Billy Rose's aquacade at the Cleveland exposition, and her troupe of swimmers put on an exhibition.
Miss Jackman does fancy diving along with the members
of her party but their main forte is figure and formation
swimming. Especially has their waterwheel attracted much
. attention wherever they liave appeared. This is accomplished
by each girl locking legs and then beginning to turn somersaults under water. It is just a steady procession of white
caps breaking the water at intervals.
Other acts include a breathtaking spectacle using sparklers. In this tlie girls go through intricate formations without the aid of the pool lights.
Also on the program will be members of tlie North Canton girl's swimming team who will display their talents in
a similar act. The girls have been giving exhibitions not
only here but at other pools where the teami has appeared
and do their acts surprisingly well.
Since no water carnival would be complete without
clowns, the swimming instructor of the Columbiana team,
which will also be here, has arranged to bring several comedy divers with them. North Canton's group of funnymen
will also aid in dispensing.laughs.
The first part of the evening's program will be devoted to
a swimming meet with Columbiana furnishing the competition. The local group boasts one victory over them thus far
and the visitors will be out to avenge that loss. So far this
season the local swimmers are undefeated even though they
have competed against teams having mucli older swimmers
on their teams.
As a sort of wiarmup for the festivities on Saturday,
members of the swimming team will divide up into teams
and play waterpolo Thursday evening. This is one sport
where anything goes as long as someone has the ball in his
possession. It's rough and fast and takes plenty of stamina
for the swimmers are moving all the time either trying to
score or break up scoring plays.
Theater Work Well Advanced
With construction starting on July 6 on the new theater
for North Canton, work has progressed with almost incredible swiftness during the past month.
Preliminary excavation work took slightly more than a
week before concrete bases were laid prior to the erection of
the brick and concrete block foundations which were under
construction on July 17. In a very short time, it seemed almost overnight, the basement walls were erected and plumbers were busy laying pipe.
With the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, the contractors have been blessed with favorable
weather, one of the reasons for the remarkable progress. On
both these days, rain, early in the morning, threatened to
halt work for the day but the sun broke through and everything continued at a steady pace.
Persons unfamiliar with a drilling rig were given an opportunity to watch one in action during the, past few days
as a well was dug in the alley way to provide water for the
cooling system which will be used in the theater. Drilling
started on Thursday and by Tuesday evening the well had
been completed with the exception of installing the turbine
pump. In order to adequately serve the cooling system the
well must deliver 100 gallons of water per minute.
Intakes for the warm air are even now being constructed.
The air will be conducted into a fan room, there nooled by the
water, and then returned through the theater.
While carpenters are busy covering the basement and laying steel reinforcement rods for the concrete floor, masons
are busy on the sidewalls which now stretch the entire length
of the building-to-be. Steel work will not be started for about
a month stated one of the supervisors.
Upon its completion the building will house two first floor
store rooms, one on either side of tlie theater entrance and
five second floor apartments.
Heavy Vote
Cast in
Primaries
Over Fifty Per Cent Name
Candidates in Canton; Returns Low in North Canton and Township
In an unusually heavy primary
vote that found beter than fifty
per cent of the voters turning out,
unofficial returns in the city of
Canton gave present Mayor Edward Folk a wide majority over his
two opponents on the Republican
ticket.
At the time the polls opened tho
voting moved along rather slowly
but late in the morning and
through the remainder of the day a
heavy turnout gave promise of the
large vote. Total number of Republicans voting were 15,081 while the
democrats tallied 11,693.
In North Canton the only issue
was the candidates for municipal
judge. As a result, voting was very
light with only a total of 153 visiting the polls during the day, 104
being Republican votes.
James A. Bowman led his Republican rivals in this community
having 49 votes against 35 for
Karl A. Feist and 20 for James
H. Emsley. On the Democratic
ticket, Everett Miller polled 36
votes while Leroy Contie had 10,
William Georges 2 and Arthur
Nebel 1. New Berlin township gave
Bowman 10, Emsley 6 and Feist
none while Miller had 10, and the
other candidates one each.
Folk Wins Easily
Mayor Edward Folk recieved
8,993 to completely dominate the
Republican picture as his rivals,
Earl Hafer and Joseph Agler had
but 3,654 and 2,328 respectively.
With eight candidates on the Democratic slate, voting was widely
split with Charles Weeks emerging
as high man with 2,675 and Michael Ross trailing with a total of
2,173.
In the nominations for city auditor, Joseph Bickhart, running un-
apposed on the Democratic ticket,
compiled S,485 while Robert Beck
led the Republican chase with
9,lil4. Joseph Mariol and Albert
Fromm received the Democratic
and Republican nominations for
president of council while the treasurers nominations were won by J.
J. Newcomer, Democrat and Walter Baum, Republican.
Paul Weber received 10,689 votes
to get the Democratic nod for city
solicitor while Robert Wilson had
5,961 for the same job on the GOP
slate.
The Municipal judge race wound
up with Leroy Contie piling up a
519 lead over Everett Miller, both
Democrats as James Bowman had a
runaway with the. Republican nomination.
The councilman-at-large nominations were taken by John Swartz,
F. C. Haffner and Benjamin Marconi on the Democratic side while
Ned Perkins, Ross Hurford, and
Charles Tressel took tlie opposite
party's nomination.
The proposed poor relief levy
went down to an overwhelming defeat when 15,476 persons voted
against it while only 8,731 were in
favor. The defeat of this measure
was apparent early in the morning
and as precinct after precinct reported in it was a foregone conclusion.

Struck Down,
Robbed of $31
Two Men Involved in Filling
Station Burglary
Two men robbed the Mead Ser
ice station in Massillon of $31.50
early Wednesday morning and
knocked tlie attendant, Earl Mead
Jr., unconscious with a blow on the
head. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Mead of Stuart boulevard in Jackson township.
Young Mead was unconscious for
approximately 20 minutes before
he recovered sufficiently to notify police. He revealed to authorities the men drove into the station in a 1936 black tudor sedan
and told him to fill it up. He put
11 gallons of gas into the car and
was tendered a $5 bill by the
driver.
As he entered the station the
other man followed him in and as
he opened the cash register he was
struck down. Clyde Fidler, who
operates a repair shop in tho rear
of the same building, was in a rear
room at the time but heard nothing
to arouse his suspicions.
Police were informed that the
same men had stopped at the station the night before, at which
time they went through the same
procedure that preceded the attack
upon Mead but at that time made
no attempt at robbery. The license
number of the car was not obtained but a good description .of lhe
pair was furnished authorities.
Mead is recovering at his home
in Jackson township from bruises
and shock.

Too Often in the Way!
John Publique is a nice fellow. He is always willing bo
offer his aid but because he is not experienced he often
causes more trouble than help.
This fact is brought vividly home in a town the size of
North Canton when one hears the fire siren blow and sees
the fire engine race out of the garage and down the street.
Immediately from, every corner and building where people
are not too busy to get away emerges men and automobiles.
Out after the fire engine they go, hands on horns and coat
tails flying in the wind. John Publique is on his way to offer
his aid.
It may sound funny, it may look funny, but it is not at
all funny when one remembers this. Somewhere in that
hurrying crowd of hurrying men and automobiles are volunteer firemen who were not on the truck but were following
in private cars. Held up by traffic and sightseers the men
cannot reach tiieir post of duty. Before they can get there
the damage may be done, a life may be lost or thousands
of dollars worth of property m|ay be gone.
This is not a far fetched issue. It happens in nearly every
small town when ever there is a fire. Fire chiefs beg and
firemen shout at the crowds to stay back. But John Publique
in all his curiosity and thoughtlessness still has the idea that
he is being helpful.
Next week or the week after when the fire siren blows
look out the window and watcli neighbors and friends start
out after the fire truck. But before each person climbs into
his automobile let him remember, "John Publique is a nice
fellow but he is too often a great nuisance and a mtenace to
life."

years. Anyhow here is the account
of the trip and apparently they hail
some real fishing.
July 2-Left Greentown Sunday
a. m. Spent first night at Madison,
Wis. Stayed at Virginia, Minn., the
second night. The guides were at
Big Grassy river with a 30 ft. boat
to meet us. Didn't, wait very long
they said. We were there a little
after noon on the -Ith. Left the car
at the Indian reservation. Harvey.,
our guide, said the car would lie
safe. One of the Indians will watch
the ear. Nearly 15 miles to the
camp. We soon had our first look
at the Lake of the Woods. We sailed out into the lake on into Sabas-
konur bay. Doc soon had hi.s camera
working.
The camp is on an island in the
bay. The bay is full of islands,
some large, some small. The shores
are solid rock, with here and there
a weed bed. A caster's paradise!
Harvey told us the fishing from
this camp is all casting from a
boat, two casters and one guide.
Each boat has an outboard motor
which they use to go from one fishing spot to another. The guides
handle these boats like canoes
while you are fishing. It all sounded good to us. We finally reached
the camp. Beautiful spot. Got
something to eat. Changed clothes
and Harvey asked us if we wanted
to go out a couple of hours before
supper. We were soon to get our
first casting in the Lake of the
Woods. In two hours we hooked
over thirty Great Northern pike,
"called jacks up here." We caught
one small-mouth bass and one walleyed pike. There are no large-
mouth bass in the lake. Went back
to camp and met the rest of the
gang. Six people from New Philadelphia, Ohio, and man and wife
[Continued on back page]
Sixteen youngsters in company
with Jack Coughlin, Dick Evans
and Tom Slusser returned Friday
afternoon after a week's stay at
Cock's forest in Pennsylvania their
trip marred by one unfortunate incident.
On Tuesday Tom Slusser took
a group on a hike and while walk-
in- sustained a fall that rendered
him unconcious. One of the boys
ran back to camp for help and
Coughlin and Evans returned. After working for some time Slusser
was brought back to consciousness
and then removed to Brookvale
hospital where he remained until
the group returned on Friday.
The boys left here Monday morning and arrived at the forest a-
round three in the afternoon, secured their permit and set up their
canin.
Head Ranger G. W. Alexander
gave the group his personal supervision and sent his two sons, Chuck
and Heap, up to the camp to join
in with the boys.
Go Deer Hunting
On Wednesday they went over
to Brookvale to visit Slusser and
in the evening Mr. Alexander pro
vided them with a real treat; deer
hunting by spotlight. A large truck
was fixed up with seats and they
drove through the forest. The Ranger revealed that on a dark night
it was not uncommon to see anywhere from 100 or more deer but
since this particular night was
very light wouldn't promise too
much. However, before the ride was
over thc boys spotted 12 deer and
one buck.
Learning that a big parade was
to be held in Clarion the next day,
Mr. Alexander made arrangements
to take the boys over and they witnessed the entire proceedings from
a special site.
A weiner roast was planned for
the evening but when a heavy rain
set in it seemed that the boys were
doomed to be disappointed. However, Mr. Alexander again stepped
into the breach and invited them
all up to his home where they spent
the evening playing games and
telling stories.
It continued to rain throughout
the night but only one tent collected enough water to collapse but
the occupants moved in with some
other boys so that none were any
the worse off for the experience.

Opinion?

Louis Olden, 63, 547 Douglas
street, Akron, was struck and fatally injured shortly after 4:30
Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of route 8 and 35th street
NW.
According to witnesses Olden
.started lo cross the .street from the
Holguerii Dairy store to go over
to the vegetable market stepping
out from behind a passing truck,
when a car driven by Brooks Willaman of 51(5 McKinley street,
North Canton, and traveling south,
struck him.
His view obscured by the truck,
Willaman had no chance to bring
hi.s car to a stop, when the man
suddenly appeared before him.
Wackcrly's ambulance was summoned to tlie scene and Olden taken to Mercy hospital where he was
to Mercy hospital where he was
pronounced dead. The body was
then removed to the funeral home.
Deputies Lower and Aston, who
investigated, stated there was little
likelihood that Willaman would be
held to any charge, terming it entirely accidental.
Skid marks on the pavement indicated that Willaman immediately
applied his brakes when he saw
Olden but was too close to bring
hi.s car lo a stop before striking
him.

Question: Are you for or
against a third term for tlie
president of the United

R. W. "Dick"
■ A3 Ramsey: — I'm
against it. I
feel that after
a man has given eight years
to such an important position he has
made a grout
sacrifice a n d
should not be
asked by the people for any further sacrifice.
Carl Sumser: — I'm not

why should a

broken now.
We've gotten ! .''

without anyone having three terms
so I don't see why we can't continue to do so.
N. G. Dickerson:—I'm a-
gainst it. I
don't believe
that any man
who has given

should be asked to give
in o r c. We've

Ninety three children attended
the party held for them at the Community building Thursday afternoon. The party was for children
under the fifth grade who participated in the reading project during
the .summer which closed last week.
The children were entertained with
story telling and games held in the
back yard.

The contest for older boys and
girls has been closed but not judged yet, due to the fact than many
